TORONTO, March 25, 2013 /CNW/ - Hotels.com® is getting amped for a Twitter sweepstakes in Canada from Monday, March
25 through Friday March 29, 2013 in celebration of the new Hotels.com
TV advertisement featuring animated rock stars.

The new broadcast creative from Hotels.com, Travellin' Band, follows a fictitious band on the road that looks to Hotels.com to book
their hotel stays every step of the way through their overnight
success. Smart, the friendly and ever-knowledgeable Hotels.com
concierge escorts the band throughout their booking process where we
see them book nearby last minute rooms via their Hotels.com mobile booking app.

Hotels.com Twitter followers can enter to win a $50 music gift card and a set of ear buds
by simply tweeting to @hotelsdotcomca using the hashtag: #TravellinSweeps. One winner from Canada will be selected daily during the entry period in a random drawing of
all entries received on that day.

"Time is a precious commodity for our consumers, and Hotels.com helps
customers find the perfect hotel deal at the perfect place at any time
via our mobile apps," said Taylor L. Cole, APR, travel expert for
Hotels.com. "Depicting the immediacy of getting a hotel in a fun
situation like a band on the go helps bring this notion to life."

Hotels.com designed this ad in partnership with Young & Rubicam Midwest
to underscore the growing popularity and usage of mobile devices while
travelling and to spotlight the company's ultimate expertise—finding
you the perfect place, every step of the way.
